 Introduction

The DC Compound Generator is the generator that has three characteristic curves, the flat

compounded were the no load and the full load is equal voltage, the under compounded were the

full load voltage is lower than the no load voltage, because of power loss in armature core, effect

of armature reaction and weakening of flux, and lastly the over compounded were it is capacitive

that the full load has a higher voltage than the no load.

Objectives

 To study the properties of compound DC generators under no-load and full load conditions.

 To learn how to connect both the compound and differential compound generators.

 To obtain armature voltage vs armature current load curves for both generators.

Data and results

4.) C. Note if the Ea builds up.

o No, because the stator is demagnitize.

E. Measure the open circuit armature voltage.

o Ea = 164.3 Vdc

5.) Vary the field rheostat and notice if the armature voltage Ea changes.

o Yes, if the field rheostat increases the Ea decreases because its creating the resistance to the

field.

7.) D. Calculate and record the power for each of the resistance shown in table 9-1

 1. State which procedure, (7 or 10) is concerned with:

a) The differential compound generator

Procedure 10

b) The compound generator

Procedure 7

2. Plot the EA vs IA regulation curve on the graph of figure 9-4. Use the data from table 9-2.

3. Over the voltage range is the armature current nearly constant in the differential compound

generator?

From 0.17 V dc to 0.2 V dc.

4. Plot the EA vs IA regulation curve on the graph of figure 9-5. Use the data from table 9-1.

6. Compare the regulation of the compound generator with regulation of the self- excited

generator and the separately-excited generator.

 The voltage regulation of compound generator is near the self-excited generator, but

the DC separately excited shunt generator is much higher voltage regulation.

7. Explain briefly why the voltage does not drop with increasing load for the compound

generator.

  The voltage does not drop with increasing load for the compound generator because

of the some factors, like power loss and low commutation decrease of flux. But in

this experiment the graph shows that the characteristic curve is under compound. It

is higher than the separately excited and self excited generator in FL condition

because the voltage come from the outside source that is why you can control the

flux.

Interpretation of results
 This experiment focuses in DC compound generators. Examining the
characteristic curve if it is under compound, flat compound, and over
compound.
 The student if there is magnetization in the field or demagnetize.
 And changing the connection to series field only so that the armature
current flows through it in opposite direction.
 Comparing differential compound generator and a compound
generator.
Conclusion
 The DC compound generator has three characteristic curve, the under
compound, flat compound, and the over compound.
 You can control the flux of compound generator from the outside source.
 The cause of the no load to full load is power los in armature, effect of
armature reaction, and weakening of flux.
